First, sorry if this is in wrong section. I don't know where to put this thread. Feel free to move it if it must be moved.

Anyways, im looking for Blu-Ray cases, and heard http://www.sleevetown.com/ is the best place for them.

Im looking to buy the first ones - http://www.sleevetown.com/blu-ray-hd-dvd-case.shtml, however have some questions?

Are they the same size in height as the normal Blu-Rays in America?

Is the website safe?

How much is shipping?

Also, is their anywhere where I can buy those cheap Eco cases too? I don't mind them.

Thanks.

I have ripped the plastic on a couple of my casses. The most recent one was Rounders unfortunately. I think it's the only messed up case I have on blu. Thanks for the link I may buy some of these.

Are they normal size blu-rays?

I have ordered from there before but there are two main types of cases used by movie studios. Both will fit but you really need to understand about the two different types to match what you are trying to replace.

I highly recommend this thread HERE

It can explain things a lot better then I can.

I do believe those are the Vortex cases. Some people prefer Vortex others prefer Viva Elite cases which are the more rounded cases often used by Warner Brothers, Fox, Lionsgate. Vortex are usually used by Sony

Also I recommend buying from DiscMakers they are usually cheaper and have extremely fast shipping.

If you're looking for smaller quantities they probably aren't a good idea. The smallest batch you can order is 25.

True but their price on the cases and the shipping are lower and are usually worth it in the long run.

Thanks for the link to Discmakers. I've been looking for a site that sells the Elite cases. I like the Vortex cases but I like to keep the movie in the same case type that it originally came in. At those prices I may replace all my eco cases.

Does anyone know where you can still get Vortex and Elite cases for HD DVD? I started buying them after the format died and have gotten several broken cases from amazon that I'd like to replace. All I can find for sale are the square backed cases.

I have purchased from DiscMakers & SleeveTown in the past.
I prefer DiscMakers as they sell the Elite cases which 80% of BD releases are packaged in (only Sony, Disney & many of the budget companies use the Vortex) and their service is superior. Strangely, I actually prefer the Vortex cases personally, but I would much rather have any replacement case be "original" so find myself ordering significantly more of the Elites.

Thanks. That's only 50 cents a case while most eBay sellers want $1 or more per case.

I've bought from Sleevetown and Vernon Library Supplies. After shipping they both cost about the same, but I receive orders from Vernon faster. YMMV.
